We're fundraising for...
We’re taking on the 24 Peaks Challenge over the weekend of 5-6 July 2025 – 2 days, 33 miles, and 13,000 feet of ascent. It’s a challenge that will test us physically, but it’s nothing compared to the challenges faced by those working at sea.
As a team of individuals with diverse connections to the maritime industry, we are united by our shared goal: to support the welfare of seafarers. Many of us have personal experience with the hardships faced by those who work on the water, and we’re all committed to raising vital funds to support The Seafarers’ Charity.
Our work within the maritime industry, particularly in the areas of safety and the energy transition, often directly impacts seafarers. Through this challenge, we aim to highlight the importance of supporting seafarers and their families, ensuring they have the assistance they need in times of crisis.
The Seafarers' Charity provides invaluable support, from financial aid to mental health services, and your donations will help continue this important work.
Together, we can make a real difference. Please support our team as we take on this challenge, and help us raise funds that will positively impact the lives of those who dedicate their lives to working at sea.
Thank you to our Sponsors
